Kids Praise! 5
DO MY BEST

Verse 1
I can do, yes, anything through Christ who strengthens me,
Even climb a mountain when I’m four, even three!
I just have to put my heart and mind straight to the test,
With Jesus and determination I can do my best.

Chorus
Do my best, Do my best,
With Jesus as my strength I’ll do my best,
He’ll do the rest.

Chorus

Verse 2
I can learn to pitch a tent through Christ who strengthens me,
Break it down to step by step, it goes up one, two, three!
I just have to put my heart and mind straight to the test,
With Jesus and determination I can do my best.

Chorus

SPOKEN - 1st time:
JOHNNY: Psalty, I just took a look at that tent.
It’s just too big for me. You put it up, you’re bigger.

PSALTY: Oh no, Johnny, it’s your problem – your opportunity to learn something. It might take you awhile, but if you take it step by step, you’ll get the tent up. Go on now - and do your best!

Chorus

Verse 3
I can learn to tie my shoes through Christ who strengthens me,
Tie a knot, then tie a bow, it’s simple as can be!
I just have to put my heart and mind straight to the test,
With Jesus and determination I can do my best.

Chorus


SPOKEN - 2nd time:
PSALTY: How are you doing with your shoes, Susie? Are you getting them tied?
SUSIE: Oh, I haven’t started yet. I guess I’ll get around to it sometime today… or tomorrow.

PSALTY: Hmmm… are you afraid you won’t be able to do it?

SUSIE: Yes.

PSALTY: The best way to learn is to try. If you don’t get it right try again…and keep trying. If you still don’t get it right, I’ll show you how to doit and you can tackle it again. The most important thing is that you try - and DO YOUR BEST!

Chorus
